ITV Production Slides - Montage (1989/90)

[agustinmotta111]

what is name of the show when the HTV laughs

[cjthomas89]

Ahhhh, the memorable days of ITV, before the crap that we have today on TV. I was born in Germany in August of that same year, but moved to England in December of 1990 - the following year - when we had Thames Television - just over two years before Carlton - and London Weekend Television

[jet3529]

that was a long time ago,

i wasn't that born

[DJFairborne77]

@channel4squares Sorry I don't have the full weather forecast.

[jamesdelboy]

I wonder what that programme was that said See You Next Thursday 2.30 and what type of programme was it

[DJFairborne77]

Hi jamesdelboy, the programme was called ''TV Weekly'' & was a TV magazine programme type-thing. It was initially presented by Anne Diamond and later Eamonn Holmes. I think it ran from around 1990 - 93 & was quite good, as it had reviews, interviews and features etc. I think Carlton took over making it after TVS lost the franchise, but it then got axed. Shame really as was quite a good series.

[cwilliams1976]

@DJFairborne77 Meridian commissioned the presentation of TV Weekly as I remember it, but via the independent production company Topical Television, who already had taken over the production in the few months before TVS had expired its franchise. Carlton had produced a similar programme called The View, but presented by Loyd Grossman.

Aren't these EndCaps, not Idents? :@

[DJFairborne77]

End Caps, Production Slides, Idents, Logos, Whatever. I wasn't actually sure what to call them, but you get the idea!...

[Hammadmossop1988]

Where did you get that rosie and jim closing from was it taped of the tv

[DJFairborne77]

Hello Hammadmossop1988. Yes, I did record that brief bit of ''Rosie And Jim'' from TSW, way back sometime in 1990! I don't know what episode it was though, but I think it was from Series 1.

[Hammadmossop1988]

I use that word way back as well

[JimShadyUK]

Ha ha - "See You Next Thursday!"

Sorry...

[kstar8706]

Hmmm... what did Channel produce for ITV?

[DJFairborne77]

The Channel, Grampian, HTV Wales, Scottish & Tyne Tees production slides are all from several episodes of the long-running religious ITV programme, "Highway", which starred the late Sir Harry Secombe & ran from 1983 - 1993.

[TigerWalrus26980]

I'm pretty sure I saw that Channel logo at the end of a cartoon once - I think it had a bat in it, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called.

[graphicgrief]

Bertie the bat.

I never watched it before but it is brilliant that show

[TigerWalrus26980]

Oh yes, that was it. Thanks!

[ziggydamaestro]

I thought Tyne Tees produced "Highway"...

[DJFairborne77]

I think most ITV regions produced at least one episode of "Highway" per year. The Tyne Tees end-cap in this video is indeed from said episode.

[charlieboy7t5]

A welcome trip down memory lane to the good old days of itv regions idents and invision continuity announcers (yes I know we didnt see one but you get my point)

Is ITV not able to see the mess that it has become.

[TigerWalrus26980]

Are you kidding, charlieboy? That would be like admitting they were wrong! Can't have that, can they? (note the touch of sarcasm there)

[shirleygibson]

Dear DJFairborne77, Would You Move Starting

with Channel Television and Tyne Tees

Television and Yorkshire Television and

HTV Wales Television Please?

[lordscruz]

A RAGDOLL PRODUCTION FOR CENTRAL

[betterwatchit]

Attention! I'm opening a petition on the PM's website to both allow ITV franchise licences to be revoked and to have ITV divided into different regions once more. I'll tell you the address when the petition is approved, which usually takes about a week.

[ziggydamaestro]

PETITION IS OPEN!!! MR TSW is actively promoting it, I believe...

[betterwatchit]

Where is it?

[ziggydamaestro]

On PM's website.

[shirleygibson]

Only on programes for ITV, came there for

Yorkshire Television programes like, Emmerdale

Heartbeat and A Touch Of Frost.

[mason642]

do you have any episodes of runway you could upload?

[DJFairborne77]

Sorry, I don't have any full episodes of "Runway" or "TV Weekly" at the moment...

[ginnibarlow]

Do you have the episode of TV Weekly.

[harshsmit]

excellent, we will never see this any stuff, so we are really grateful for this, this is how ITV should be now!

[AntarcticaTelevision]

Fantastic!

[treffynnon19]

Colin Weston voices the 'Saturday Night at the Movies' link about the viewers' poll.

[col2006ie]

Excellent indeed. Nice to see the rarely-seen slides from TSW (out of "Sounds Like Music"), Ulster Television, Grampian, Border and HTV Wales.

[DJFairborne77]

Yes, you are absolutely correct as the TSW slides were from "Sounds Like Music". As for all the others: Ulster & 1st HTV Wales were both from "Ghost Train", Channel, Grampian, Tyne Tees, Scottish & 2nd HTV Wales were all from "Highway", the 2 TVS were from "Streetwise" & "TV Weekly", the 3 Granada were from "Josie Smith", "Runway" & "Saturday Night At The Movies".

[DJFairborne77]

ITN was from "News At Ten", HTV West was from "Rolf's Cartoon Club", the 1st Yorkshire was from "Emmerdale Farm", the 2nd Central was from "Rosie & Jim" & LWT was from "Walden". The 1st Central, 2nd Yorkshire, Anglia, Thames & Border ones I can't remember where they are from now though...

[TomChannon]

If you don't mind me asking, which Rosie & Jim episode have you got that's included in this video? Thanks a lot for taking the time to upload this, it's brilliant.

[DJFairborne77]

I sadly don't have any full episodes of "Rosie & Jim", as all I have is that short clip of the Central logo. Same goes for all the other programmes featured in this video, as all I recorded was the different ITV logos at the end of each one!

[TomChannon]

Ah well.

[AidanLunn]

Did you record any frontcaps?

[DJFairborne77]

Sadly not to any of the programmes in this video...

[wisteela]

Great stuff. Bit on with the random advert. :)
